I love my family, but it's exhausting. With our missionary board approval and oral doctrinal exam getting closer it seems to get more hectic. I'm away from my kids more than I'm with them, when I'm with them it's when they are most tired, and I feel lonely more than I wish to admit. Every once in a while we have a fun afternoon though...and the other day we experienced that. It warms my heart to see my Nora care about her brother. But, she doesn't just want to take care of him, she really wants to be his friend. And, he likes her. He smiles at her when she gets in his face saying, "Sisas" over and over. I hope they really do become friends. I think they may really need each other as they grow up.
And, our whole family is excited that this Saturday is the last one that Andy will have to work! He finally moves to a new position and we are super excited. First thing planned is 5 hour marriage class on April 2nd, and then a trip to Anderson the next weekend to give away the kids for a few hours so Andy and I can see if we remember what it's like to hang out. (my heart is so full of happiness when I think about this.)
